Bring Back Inactive Tabs Category in Mobile App

[ReferenceZero]

The latest update removed the “Inactive Tabs” feature in the Mobile Browser, and instead displays all tabs in the window in order of when they were first opened. 

Requesting to restore the Inactive Tabs function as a means of neat organization and aesthetics by removing clutter. Simply put—if I wanted to have all my tabs displayed like Safari, I would have used Safari. Thank you!

Just updated the iOS app to have my shame of inactive tabs in my face. I loved having things tidy up automatically without actually “losing” them.

The inactive tabs functionality is why I use Firefox as my primary browser in the first place. I liked that it kept things organized without having to close tabs I might go back to in a few weeks. If i wanted a wall of every tab I ever opened and might still need, I would have just used chrome.

it’s been 30 minutes and I miss my inactive tabs already … I liked having tabs I dont need in the moment become hidden but not lost without me having to go bookmark them or something. Bring back inactive tabs 🥲

I see there is an option to bring this back in the debug settings, which is good. But it makes no sense to me that a useful and distinguishing feature like this would just be removed completely, as opposed to turning off by default and preserving an option to turn it on. If you’re worried about too many options in the mobile app, just add an advanced options menu item.
